Ignacio Montes de Oca y Obregón

José María Ignacio Montes de Oca y Obregón (26 June 1840 – 19 August 1921) was a Mexican archbishop of the Roman Catholic Church.

A 1905 newspaper article in the ''St. Louis Globe-Democrat'' referred to him as "the greatest orator and one of the most learned prelates of the Catholic church of Mexico". At the time, Montes de Oca had been reprimanded by Pope Pius X for a publishing a letter that was critical of a delegation previously sent to Mexico by Pope Leo XIII.

Montes de Oca died in New York City in 1921 while visiting the rector of St. Patrick's Cathedral, shortly after returning from a trip to Spain. It was noted that he had written over 100 books on "ecclesiastical subjects, literature, and poetry". Provided by Wikipedia
